I like timelapse and I like Coachella, here’s both of them together for the world to see. Enjoy and get your tickets early. Every year is amazing.
My buddy Casey showed me this video. Dope song, great video. Reminds me of Fight Club or an Adam Freeland video. Speaking of Adam, I put up his Mindkiller video on Blastro. Its relatively old at this point, but probably more relevant than ever.
Check out this video of touch screen turntables.
The ATTIGO TT was created by Scott Hobbs, a student at Dundee University studying innovative product design. For his final year project he’s created a touch screen turntable that lets DJ’s loop, sample and scratch wave forms just as you would a record. The size of the touchtable is approximately the same as a standard turntable, making the physical interaction nearly the same. Where this takes off is in the flexibility and features included right at your fingertips, no longer locked up on a computer screen. The ATTIGO TT is currently a working prototype, and Scott is looking for manufacturers to partner with.
I use both myspace and facebook. I like them both for different reasons. Here’s a quick video of why they are both retarded. SKANKS!!!
Here’s another good video on Spacebook and Myface.
This has to be one of my all time favorite YouTube videos. This guy is simply amazing. Normally beatboxing is fun for the first few minutes but then turns into a sort of lame drum solo coming out of someone’s mouth. This has a cool concept and let’s get visual with the guy. I love how he opens the “filter” of his mouth as he opens the lid. Solid work Mr. Cooking Beatbox Guy. Drink Bud Light.
Here’s a bonus, Techno Chicken in the house:
I saw Justice at Coachella a few weeks back and it was simply RAW. One of the loudest shows I’ve ever seen. Very punk, very electronic, very tough. Check out their new video for Stress.
I had the pleasure to help Joel Zimmerman, aka DeadMau5, setup his gear not once but two times at the Austin Electronic Music Festival. Toddy B and I also opened the night and you can hear the last track I played just before DeadMau5 goes on in the below video.
DeadMau5 uses a very unique setup. He’s running Abelton Live on a 17″ G5 MacBook Pro ($2-3k) outputting to an Apoge Ensemble ($2k) soundcard. He’s using a 16×16 (256) Monome controller ($800) for what I’m not totally sure and a touch screen Lemur ($3k) made by Jazz Mutant to control his effects. He’s running 4 stereo outs from his Ensemble to whatever club mixer is at hand, in our case, a Pioneer DJM-800($1600) which was also setup with a Pioneer EFX-1000 ($800). As far as I could tell, he used everything that he brought and used it well.
I was lucky enough to see the Ghostland show at Austin Music Hall for the CD Release party of Robotique Mystique. I found a youtube video of it and thought I would share. It was a great show, completely sold out, packed to the walls and the crowd couldn’t get enough.
Can’t get in da club? Just say you’re the DJ! Funny as hell.
